Friend,

Last week Politico released an article exposing how Republicans are using super PACs to test the boundaries of campaign finance law. We’ve known for years that super PACs are underregulated and full of loopholes for corrupt campaigns to take advantage of, but it’s become clearer than ever this election cycle.

The law states that super PACs are not allowed to coordinate with campaigns, but there seem to be very few consequences for those campaigns and super PACs that break the law. The article goes as far as to call this a “Wild West campaign financing system,” and if we don’t pass stronger campaign finance laws the Wild West will just keep getting wilder.

We’ve been working for years to fix our campaign finance system so that it works for everyday Americans, not just for the rich and powerful. We need to close these loopholes and end coordination between super PACs and campaigns once and for all. Are you with us? If you are, please chip in $10 to fight against Big Money in our politics.

Our President Tiffany Muller says, “The GOP’s relentless efforts to dismantle regulatory bodies is directly responsible for the unchecked abuse of our campaign finance system. By defanging the FEC, Republicans have effectively sabotaged the agency tasked with safeguarding our democracy from corruption.”

If our campaign finance system wasn’t so underregulated, this would not be an issue. ECU/LAV Action Fund needs your help to pass laws that strengthen and expand the regulations on our campaign finance system so we can close the loopholes that corrupt Republicans keep exploiting. If you’re ready to fight alongside us, please contribute $10 or whatever you can now. We’re counting on you.

Thank you,

— Team ECU/LAV Action
